We report the case of a woman, presenting with anterior proximal forearm pain and median nerve compression, who was found to have a partial tear of her distal biceps brachii tendon associated with a synovial bursa.

We present a case of a 46-year-old male presenting with a 10 year history of pain and paraesthesia in the median nerve distribution together with a palpable lump in the upper arm. X-rays confirmed a supracondylar process of the humerus. Intra-operatively it was found that there was an aberrant insertion of one of the heads of pronater teres from the process. After surgical removal of the process and release of the head of pronator teres his symptoms improved.

31 cadaver arms have been dissected to study the variations in the anatomy of the muscles and fibrous arches which might cause compression of the median nerve in the forearm. Pronator teres always had a superficial head and usually a deep head. Flexor digitorum superficialis varied greatly in its site of origin. The median nerve might be crossed by two, one or no fibro-aponeurotic arches. Gantzer’s muscle, an accessory head of flexor pollicis longus, was present in 45% of cadavers. No ligament of Struthers was found. Possible sites and causes of nerve compression are discussed.

Two cases are reported of acute median nerve compression due to calcium pyrophosphate deposition in the wrist, masquerading as a septic condition. There have been recent reports in the literature of the effects of calcium pyrophosphate in joints of the upper limb (Resnick 1983 and Hensley, 1983) These conditions are uncommon and the presentation and initial symptomatology of our case led in the first patient to misdiagnosis and an unnecessary operation, which was avoided in the second case.

A 70-year-old woman presented with median nerve compression secondary to enlarged supratrochlear lymph nodes infiltrated with malignant non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Peripheral nerve compression is rarely seen in this condition. The management and prognosis are discussed.
